Overview 35

This brochure is for architects, building contractors, specialist fabricators

and others involved in the building process. The first part serves as
a guide to fire resistance for buildings and provides information on
the solutions available. In the second part, Schueco offers the most
comprehensive range of aluminium glazed fire-resistant doors, windows
and façades on the market, backed by a programme of international
accreditations. In addition, Schueco SHEVS provides the complete
solution for natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems with a
wide range of windows and roof lights.

The Schueco range includes fire doors and screens providing 30-, 60- and
90-minute fire resistance together with windows offering 30-minute fire
Schueco FireStop T90 fire door protection. For large glazed areas, Schueco’s façade and skylight systems
are tested to 30 and 60 minutes. Doors to contain the spread of life-
threatening smoke are also available.
4 Schueco Fire and Smoke Protection for Buildings

Testing to EN 1364/1634

Schueco fire-resistant products are tested to EN standards in a variety of configurations and

dimensions to establish the maximum size parameters and type of glazing, together with the hinges,
locks, closers and other accessories that will become part of the final approved specification.

The test elements are installed into different wall constructions to simulate different interfaces
between the frame and structure. Minor modifications can be approved by assessments.

Performance Classifications to EN 13501-2

Fire-resistant doors, windows and façades are classified according to their integrity (E), radiation (W)
and insulation characteristics (I) together with the period of protection in minutes (e.g. 30, 60, 90) and

Building Regulations Approved

Document B (Fire safety) 2013
Building Regulations Approved Document B provides guidance on some of the more common building
situations. If the guidance is followed the resulting design will be considered as meeting the fire safety
requirements for Document B. It is based on prescriptive guidance which states how the building
should be constructed to meet the required standards.

particular solution. Compliance using other means must be such that it can be checked by Building

Features of a fire-resistant door

Aluminium fire protection doors and screens do not only depend on the individual performance of
their profiles, hinges, locks and closers but also on the performance of the glazing element.
Of utmost importance is the interface between the framing and the wall, an area which is often not
given the necessary care and attention.

Accordingly, Schueco fire protection products are independently tested and assessed to ensure their
functionality, safety and security.
